The foundation stone was laid on September 26, 2026, for India’s first port-based e-methanol production facility at Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) in Gandhidham, Kutch. The project is a joint venture between DPA and Assam Petro-Chemicals Limited (APCL) and has an initial investment of Rs 2,300 crore. The plant is designed to produce 150 tonnes per day of e-methanol, a green fuel created using renewable power, water, and biogenic CO₂.
